Strategic Audit
Overview
Most brands know something is wrong before they can prove it. Lead times that keep slipping. A cost base that never seems to come down. A peak season that should have been more profitable than it was. The problem is that without a structured diagnostic, the issues stay vague and vague problems don't get fixed.
The Onflair Strategic Audit maps your entire operation. Supply chain, suppliers, freight, fulfilment, margin structure, inventory - every cost, every risk, every commercial opportunity. What you get at the end is not a generic report. It is a prioritised action plan with specific numbers attached to every recommendation, so you know exactly what to fix, in what order, and what it is worth to fix it.
Most clients identify at least six figures in recoverable value. All audit fees are credited in full against your first month if you proceed to a fractional COO engagement.
Process
Scoping
01
A structured onboarding session to understand your business, your priorities, and where you believe the problems are. We map the full scope of the audit and align on what a successful outcome looks like before any work begins.
Diagnostic
02
We go into the operation. Supplier base, production calendars, freight invoices, landed cost analysis, 3PL performance, inventory data, margin structure by SKU. Everything reviewed and benchmarked against what a well-run operation at your scale should look like.
Analysis
03
We quantify every finding commercially. Not "your lead times are long" but "your lead times are costing you an estimated £X per quarter in emergency freight and stockout revenue." Every problem gets a number.
Delivery
04
We present the findings directly to the founder or senior team. A clear, prioritised action plan with commercial impact attached to each recommendation and a proposed roadmap for addressing them.
